Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Falus coin is that it was minted during the reign of Moulay 'Abd al-Rahman, who was the second Sultan of the 'Alawi dynasty in Morocco. He ruled from 1832 until his death in 1859, and his reign was marked by significant political and economic reforms, including the introduction of a new currency system that replaced the old Barbary States' coinage with the Falus coin. This coin was used throughout Morocco and was an important symbol of the country's economic and political development during that time.
